Hi Mark, A quick look at PlatformPOSIX.cpp, PlatformLinux.cpp and PlatformRemoteGDBServer.cpp shows that Pavel's description of port forwarding situation is still accurate. On Linux currently there is no way to know the port number before LLDB tries actually attach to something.
Mentioning of GDB server protocol shouldn't confuse you, it's just a name of a text protocol LLDB client uses to talk to LLDB server [1]. LLDB tries to be compatible with GDB in this aspect.
